Just a slight correction to what it means though... Having a "ball" means that your attention is needed on a specific thread. Each tread can have multiple participants and the participants can pass the ball to one another. I think it originated from the concept of juggling many balls. Kalexo certainly has the ability to organize your work life very well. Folks are struggling to get the concept of a Google Wave, so kudos to you for explaining it by relating it to similar concepts form other collaboration tools. There's a very informative post about how Kalexo differs from Wave - http://bit.ly/3Oz6e1 .
